Happy Holidays Kossacks!

As many of you know, because of the widespread dissatisfaction with seven years of incompetent federal government in DC, many Americans are hungry for change and therefore Democrats are showing the signs of being competitive in places for the first time in years. Oklahoma's U.S. Senate race is among them.

As Many of you may be aware, most of Oklahoma has been devastated by an ice storm that has cut off electricity for over 500,000 Oklahomans (which also means no heat for most people as well, in the midst of frigid conditions)

State Senator Andrew Rice spent much of today touring and helping out in his urban State Senate district, which has been hit particularly bad.

As Kos noted in yesterday's open thread, The Oklahoman published a straightforward profile about Andrew Rice and his campaign for U.S. Senate. From newsok.com:

Rice will be running against an incumbent with a long record, who has made some enemies in Washington, particularly in the environmental community. [...]

But Rice sees an opening for a new face, at a time when, he said, voters are tired of partisan gridlock in Washington and nasty campaigns.

"They want competent and responsible government," he said. "I think sometimes (political) races are portrayed as people are looking for the ideal candidate.

"People are pretty down-to-earth and realistic about what they expect. People want you to pay attention to what they're saying. They want immigration reform. They want affordable health care."

The conventional wisdom surrounding State Sen. Andrew Rice’s campaign to defeat Jim Inhofe for U.S. Senate is shifting. While Inhofe and his Republican friends are showing signs that Rice is making them worried, more Democrats are seeing that Rice has everything it takes to send Inhofe into retirement.

You may have noticed the post from kos last week regarding the website the Oklahoma GOP put up attacking Sen. Rice for his "tangled web of left-wing political connections," including scary groups such as the Sierra Club and – of course – DailyKos:

Oklahoma Republicans are a special breed of nuttery apart. This is the state of Inhofe, "global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people," and the state of Tom Coburn, "lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they’ll only let one girl go to the bathroom." ...

Meanwhile, after seeing how scary Andrew Rice is, I hope no one goes and checks out his site and volunteers, contributes, or signs up for his email list.

Jim Inhofe is trying to rewrite history. After spreading false claims and casting votes against the recent SCHIP bill, he now is cosponsoring a Senate-Republican-Incumbent-protection bill to maintain the status quo on SCHIP. He's claiming to support children's health, but all he's doing is trying to hide his voting record behind his co-sponsorship record.

On his website, Inhofe claims to support the SCHIP program. He states:

Congress needs to pass a reauthorization of SCHIP that maintains the original intent of the program by providing health insurance for the millions of uninsured, low-income children across the country, not middle-class adults.

The League of Conservation Voters has named Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe to the top of their "Dirty Dozen" list for 2008. As David Sandretti of the LCV wrote:

The choice of Inhofe was really a no-brainer. He has been the last of the great deniers of global warming (he calls it "a hoax"). And he's cast as many anti-environment votes as anyone in his time in the Senate.

Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-OK, once again chooses to isolate himself from Senate colleagues when faced with a dissenting opinion. And once again, the issue at hand is climate change. Inhofe, a longtime global warming skeptic, today chose to hide behind a stilted version of procedure during the latest Senate environmental committee hearings, rather than hear expert testimony from his legislative colleagues.
